That's correct.  The reason I don't support signing of raw binaries > 48K is 
that I don't know which section of the ROM is mapped at console init time, 
so I can't calculate a signature.  The A78 header has that additional meta-
information about the mapping that is needed.  There is nothing MESS-
specific about the A78 format, BTW, except that it originated with MESS.  
It's actually a good solution to that mapping problem which crops up with 
bank-switched cart images on all consoles.

Thanks,
